1. No/Low Code Development Platforms revolves around simplifying and accelerating the application development processthroughvisual,intuitivetools.Itbeginswithvisual applicationdesign,whereuserscancreateuserinterfaces using drag-and-drop elements without writing code. Business logic and workflows are automated through visual flow editors, making complex processes easy to manage.
2. Developers and non-developers alike benefit from reusable components and pre-built modules that reduce development time. These platforms offer easy integration with databases, APIs, and third-party services, streamlining data handling. Rapid prototyping allows userstobuildandtestapplicationsquickly,enablingfaster innovation.Thedevelopmentprocessisagileanditerative, allowingchangestobemadeinreal-time.
3. The platforms also facilitate easy data integration, with built-in connectors and tools that allow seamless integration with databases, APIs, and third-party services. This makes connecting various systems and automating data exchange straightforward without the need for complex coding. With rapid prototyping, No/Low code platforms enable quick development cycles where users can create prototypes to test concepts, receive feedback, andrefineapplicationsbeforefulldeployment.Thisability to rapidly test and iterate significantly speeds up the innovationprocess.
4. In line with modern software development practices, No/Low code platforms promote agile and iterative development. Since updates and changes can be made in real-time, users can continuously improve applications and make adjustments based on real-time data or feedback, ensuring the app stays relevant and efficient. Collaboration is another core aspect of this methodology. Both business stakeholders and IT teams can collaborate within the platform, ensuring that the final product aligns with business objectives and technical feasibility. This collaborative environment helps bridge the gap between businessneedsandITcapabilities.

7. RESULT
Longer Development Times Without low-code platforms, traditional development requires more time and effort. Developers need to code every element from scratch, leadingtoslowerdevelopmentcycles.
Higher Costs Manual coding can be more resourceintensive, both in terms of time and labor. It may require hiring more developers or more extensive use of resources to complete the same tasks. Increased Complexity Without the simplified interfaces provided by low-code platforms, projects may become more complex and harder to manage, requiring highly specialized skills forbothdevelopmentandmaintenance.

FLOWCHART
The flowchart illustrates the software development life cycle, beginning with analysis, followed by design and development. After development, the software undergoes testing, where bugs may be identified. If bugs are found, they are fixed; otherwise, the software proceeds to deployment. If the deployment is successful, the process ends; otherwise, a review is conducted to refine the process.
